TRAINING
Training was specific to the population served and/or specific program/services being provided
Most trainings were provided by an outside vendor Most trainings were a 1 time class with no follow up training SDPO provided most day to day training, inconsistent based off of
SDPO’s perspective, experience, and motivational level

SUPERVISION
SDPO provided supervision specific to the operation Level of Supervision was determined by SDPO’s knowledge,
experience, and level of motivation In some operations, depending on the needs of the operations, SDPO
managed more than supervised DPO received supervision inconsistently based on SDPO’s style and
level of involvement
